Appendix C C-23<br />

d. Whenever there is NO valid Barometric Pressure Setting data available, then the “Barometric Pressure<br />

Setting (Minus 800 millibars) subfield (“ME” bits 21 – 29, Message bits 53 – 61) shall be set to ZERO (0)<br />

as indicated in Table C-9.<br />

e. Whenever the Barometric Pressure Setting data is greater than 1208.4 or less than 800 millibars, then<br />

the “Barometric Pressure Setting (Minus 800 millibars) subfield (“ME” bits 21 – 29, Message bits 53 –<br />

61) shall be set to ZERO (0).<br />

Note.— This Barometric Pressure Setting data can be used to represent QFE or QNH/QNE,<br />

depending on local procedures. It represents the current value being used to fly the aircraft.<br />
